| In the wake of the debate around network management at the FCC, one of the issues that has been getting lots of attention is network capacity and speed. Some of the commentary around the FCC’s decision in this case focused on the emerging issue of bandwidth caps and usage caps. There was also lots of discussion about the importance of having more high capacity networks deployed. The implication of many of these comments is that we have not made as much progress as we should in deploying high... |
